Giannou being 24 already would have to get a move on and start scoring more goals this season if he's to get a look into the Greek NT.

Ikonomidis - 9g, maybe 10a, 15gm [-(

Yeah he's done well but when do the training wheels come off?

Serie B clubs have already been coming after him for a loan but Lazio think he's better off in-house.

Hopefully a cameo for the first team is a realistic prospect within a year.

A couple of things:
- if we are going to play 4-3-3 Then I think Oar needs to be the left sided midfielder. That formation requires goal scoring wingers like Troisi or Kruse. i Dont think we will lose that much in terms of creativity.
-Luongo averaging a goal/assist every 3 games is pretty good as he plays as a DM but I think those figures would be hard to maintain in a higher league he is obviously a class above league 1. Still good to see a more attacking minded midfielder coming up.
-Vidosics form should have seen him make the Asian Cup squad I know people will get upset but I would rather he be in the team than Bresciano. I know Bresc has awesome passing skills but that is his entire game. Unlike Cahill he is really on his last legs super slow and unfit, Cant tackle, contributes very little in defense, easy to run around, cant beat players one on one, very average in the Air. I'm not saying Vidosic is the next Lampard but he is doing above average in an above average league and will be 30 come the next WC to Brescianos 38. I just think it will put to much of a burden on our wingers in terms of defensive contribution.
-Leckie is about on par with last seasons haul of 10 goals and 10 assists playing in a much better team will be interesting to see how he goes in B1 where his team will likely be a relegation battler.
-Giannou should have been capped a long time ago his progress has improved slightly from last season but he should have already been on the radar he has been scoring at a similar rate in terms of minutes per goal/assist for a couple of seasons.

So Taylor Tombides (18, turning 19 in February) has been loaned to a team in the 7th tier. First reaction is it was just to get him out on loan and they will release him at the end of the season except he has been around the U21's it seems who have a lot of players about 2 years older than him (born 1994 at least) and both sides have called it "work experience" not a loan. Anyway he started with a hattrick in a 4-3 loss.

Work experience eh? I wouldn't be surprised if they kept Taylor around for another few years on some decent cash just to help him and his family out with the whole Dylan situation.

Kenny Dougall playing until half time and Alistair Quinn coming on at 55 minutes for Telstar in their 3-0 friendly win.

dam only checked back to 455, my reputation will never recover.


Giannou scored 2 in a 4-0 in the cup against a 2nd division side. Also won a pen which got a player sent off, one report called it a dive.

Love these lads.

Thats for the football league trophy. Not the league. They just lost 0-2.

Any rumours of Josh Brillante? on whether he will go on loan or not?

pretty consistent ones that he will. Most recently I have seen Empoli (midtable Serie A) which is only 20km from Florence. Either they are waiting on getting a midfielder out before going for Brillante or Brillante was 2nd choice and they were waiting to see if they could get their first choice or both. I don't really know as it is just Google translate so it is hard to tell.

Also Catania a team in the relegation playoff in Serie B appeared this week apparently looking at him.

there have been 3 or 4 other clubs rumored in December but haven't seen anything recently. Fiorentina is expected to have a busy window getting players out, a lot of similar transfer to Brillante which haven't worked.

This is from an Empoli feed 12 hrs ago (i think 12 hrs)

So depressing if we win the Asian Cup Maybe he will change is mind ?

Tribal Football, I know, but they name their source, and there's a bunch of articles from the same day in Italian saying the same thing, but I didn't want to inflict google translate on you guys.

I rate tribal football. Back in the day it was real good and hinted to change in the state league system.

Bulut could be headed home and to WSW. #sst #facts

Rogic has travelled with Celtic for two friendlies in Spain. Hopefully we might see him get back on the field.

Interesting news about Brillante, cheers guys.

That is awesome news. Fox Sports 4 have been showing replays of old Socceroos games this week and Rogic has shined in every game he's played. Man we could use him at the Asian Cup.

Celtic and Newcastle playing a friendly today. Rogic vs Good? Groin-off.

I was watching on Tuesday night and thinking the exact same thing. He just adds that touch of class. Wish he was fit for the AC.

Any word on Taggart's progess, last i heard a few weeks back he we nearing full fitnes and might be intergrated back into the squad..

It would be good for him to make a appearances , in theback alf of the season.. I use him in FIFA Manager , he is a beast at finishing :)

I was looking for info on Tags the other day. Not much out of his twitter other than he is back in training. Read a few UK websites saying that Fulham will be offloading a few strikers in January who haven't quite worked out, however are looking forward to getting Adam into the first team setup. He'd probably be 3rd or 4th in line once he is up and running, but should be able to break into that first team, they've had a horrid season thus far.

im pretty sure he was playing fulham U21's a month ago. was under the impression that he would be getting a run sometime in january.

Callum Elder just got a loan to Mansfield Town in the Conference.

We have an issue guys. With the Asian cup and the lack of break, Swindon will be missing two key midfielders for a month. They arent in auto promo position at the moment and id hate to think what will happen to their league position without them playing.
